Newly-single Tom Brady stripped down to his underwear and shared a very revealing photo to Instagram on Monday - just one week after his ex-wife Gisele Bündchen also flaunted her body while posing up a storm in a skimpy bathing suit for a beach-side photoshoot.
The 45-year-old football star took a page from his ex-wife's book, sharing a nearly-naked image to his Instagram Stories and Twitter account while promoting his underwear line.
The athlete - who recently announced he was retiring from the NFL - wore nothing but a pair of tight, brown fitted underwear as he showed off his incredibly toned abs.
He sat on the edge of an unmade bed with his legs open towards the camera, as he covered his privates with his hand.
The eye-catching snap is unlike anything Tom has ever shared before - and it quickly caused a stir on social media.

Tom shared the snap in response to a 'deal' he had made with his clothing company, Brady Brand, in which he vowed to 'recreate' one of its ads if his tweet got 40,000 likes
It left many people on the web shocked, some of whom branded it as a 'thirst trap' and others who joked that he had gone 'rogue' since quitting football.
'Tom's been retired one week and already starting an [OnlyFans],' wrote one Twitter user.
'A+ thirst trap from Tom,' said someone else, while another person asked, 'You launching the OnlyFans next?'
'Dude, people's wives and girlfriends are on this app,' read a fourth tweet.
'If this is what retirement gonna make us have to endure from you then I expect to see you at training camp,' a different person tweeted.
Another wrote: 'Bro retired and is gonna go rogue now.'
Tom shared the snap in response to a 'deal' he had made with his clothing company, Brady Brand, which sells shirts, slacks, and underwear.
Back in June 2022, he tweeted that if his post got at least 40,000 likes, he would 'recreate' an ad that the brand had shared promoting a set of boxer-briefs.
And when the apparel line reminded him of his promise on February 6, he responded with the sultry snap.
'Did I do it right?' he captioned it, while tagging footballers Julian Edelman and Rob Gronkowski, who have also posed in their underwear recently.
'Deal's a deal,' he added.

The post comes days after it was reported that Tom, who confirmed he and Gisele, 42, were divorcing back in October, after 13 years of marriage, had no interest in dating following the split.
Sources told TMZ last week that the California native is instead focusing on being a father to his three kids, John, 15, Benjamin, 13, and Vivian, 10.
The outlet claimed that Brady is allegedly not looking to dive into a new career like sportscasting anytime soon, despite rumors of a deal between him and Fox Sports brewing that could be worth 'hundreds of millions of dollars.'
Sources said he will still be working on his side projects, however, like Brady Brand and his training program, TB12.
Tom's underwear photo was also posted days after he was seen screaming on the phone while watching his daughter's horseback riding lesson.
The Tampa Bay Buccaneers quarterback appeared irate and was seen yelling into his headphones as he had an animated conversation with someone on the other line.
He gestured angrily as he launched the tirade on the unknown caller - and at one point, he even spit in rage.
It is unclear exactly what made the Super Bowl winner so emotional, but he seemed to calm down by the time the lesson was over.

Taking a page out of her book? Brady is now posing in his undies after his ex-wife Gisele (seen in 2000) did it for decades
Tom announced his retirement from the NFL early on Wednesday morning via a social media video.
He previously shared plans to step away from the game last year, but changed his mind just 40 days later and agreed to play another season for the team. But now, he has insisted that he's done with the sport 'for good.'
Soon after making the announcement, he shared several throwback photos to Instagram while reminiscing about his time in the NFL, including two images that included his former wife, Gisele - which could be a signal that he is on good terms with the supermodel.
She also wished Tom well on social media, writing that she hopes he will enjoy his next chapter after football.
'Wishing you only wonderful things in this new chapter of your life,' she said.
Like Tom, Gisele has also been showing off her body in recent weeks. She was seen posing in a pink swimsuit during a sizzling beach photoshoot on January 31, and a few days prior to that, she donned a cheeky purple bathing suit.
Back in November, it was rumored that she was dating Brazilian jiu-jitsu instructor Joaquim Valente after they seen enjoying a dinner date in Costa Rica, but an insider close to the fashion star insisted to DailyMail.com that they are just friends.
